I hear these same idiotic statements over and over. It isn't forcing a child. It's teaching a child.

You wouldn't let your kid make his or her own choice about the rightness and wrongness of things like stealing, murder, drugs, or alcohol. Why would you choose not to educate them on something as important as their immortal soul?

[comment on article "Intelligent people less likely to believe in God"]

I do not consider myself dumb nor highly intelligent either. All I know is God has saved me from death 3 different times in my life. Even the doctors could not figure the miracle cure of my illness out, only I knew for sure. I feel sad for those high IQ's who are going to be begging us dumb and dumber people in heaven "just for a drop of water to quence the burning" they will have to endure. Hey guys, you will be aware of your surroundings and you will feel pain, count on it. Put your brains to work and find Jesus, ASAP!!!

Because science is a false religion. It is a disguise used by anti-God conspirators to indoctrinate people into abandoning truth and serving a false idol. They wrap their faith in words that make it seem "neutral" but it is not at all neutral. It is anti-God, anti-truth, anti-human.

Those who accept their teaching and bow down to it can have their indoctrination recognized and move up the heirarchy.

Other "Scientists" that is those that bow before the false god "scient" will award their proteges with diplomas and jobs. That is why the medical profession is rife with professional killers. They call for more and more killing all the time to serve "scient" his blood meals.

Abortion, Euthanasia, Infanticide, depopulation are the fruits of the scient worshippers. Each of those requires the death of people.

Judaism: The word 'Bible' is not in the Bible. Moses never preached any religion by the name of 'Judaism'. The word 'Judaism' doesn't even exist in the Bible. If this is the case then where did the names like 'Judaism' and ‘Bible’ come from? And what religion did Moses preach? If it was not Islam (surrender to God’s Will) then what is?

Christianity: Jesus didn't have any idea about the book call 'New Testament'! He never preached any religion by the name of 'Christianity'. The word 'Christianity' doesn't exist anywhere in the Bible (OT & NT). Even Jesus never heard the word 'Jesus' during his lifetime! He never preached irrational doctrines like Trinity and original sin. The word 'Trinity' doesn't exist in the New Testament. Jesus himself never claimed to be God. It is also an absurdity. He never told his followers to worship him. In fact, he used to pray to God (Matthew 26:39, 14:23). Where did the words like 'Christianity' and 'Trinity' come from then? And what religion did Jesus preach? If it was not Islam (surrender to God’s Will) then what is? Well, there is solid evidence in the New Testament that Jesus used to preach Islam. The Arabic word ‘Islam’ means “surrender to God’s Will”. One who surrenders his/her will to the Will of God is called Muslim. Jesus also surrendered his will to the Will of God (Father), and as such he was a Muslim (in Faith) and probably a Jew (in race):

There is no way that this world will continue on for 30 more years. NO WAY! Tensions are running way too high. SOMETHING has to happen because those built up tensions will soon reach a peak.
Iran is deliberatly taunting the USA and Israel because they DO want for something to start up.
That Iranian President is not only an Islamic extremist, but he is also INSANE. He believes that the Mahaddi (spelling wrong I know) must enter the scene during a cataclysmic event, when the middle east is in complete turmoil. Therefore, he wants to start something up to cause that scenerio in order for his Mahaddi to come to the rescue.

Obviously, if God is the Creator of the Universe, and if He is the ultimate author of the Scripture, the information we find in these two realms (nature and Scripture) will never contradict. All truth is God’s truth, and truth is never contradictory.

If the information discovered in nature appears to contradict that in the Scripture, 1 of 3 things has taken place:

1) Scripture has been misunderstood and misinterpreted
2) The scientific data is not mature or exhaustive
3) Both 1 and 2

The people I've told throughout the last few years, just don't care, and want to continue on in sin. Many of them even believe that Jesus IS coming back! You'd THINK that they'd be scared because of their lifestyles, and repent. But they continue on just the same. I no longer even try to talk to them. They already know The Way. I just pray for them. And perhaps one day something might happen in their lives, or in this world, which will cause them to cry out to the Lord. They know where we live. If they need me, I'm right here.

On Sept. 11, 2001, ALL of these people showed up at our house! See, they were frightened at what was happening, and rushing to MY house was their first thought. Just goes to show ya, they turn to a christian in times of crisis.

people need much more church control they get
with all this dirt coming from tv screens and with all this horrible nonchristian music
like littel kids need grownups to teach them to behave - americans need church for the same riason.

all christians i know think the same way as me - but they dont state their views publicly unlike me

QUESTION: Aren't today's scholars better equipped to translate the Bible than the King James translators were?

ANSWER: No.

EXPLANATION: [...]it would be foolish and contradictory to believe that today's scholars ever could equal or surpass those of the Authorized Version.
Most Christians agree that the world, with time, degenerates. Morals have degenerated since 1611. Character has degenerated since 1611. Even our atmosphere has degenerated. Are we then to believe that education has gotten better? Only a worshiper of education could pretend to believe such a fairy tale. Education has degenerated along with the entire world system and could never produce a scholar equal to those of nearly four hundred years ago.

[It's totally impossible for me to accept Jews, Muslims or other people would go to Hell because they are not Christians .I really don't understand.]

They don't have to be Christians, they just need to accept Jesus as they only Lord and savior.

They need to confess to God that they are sinner (we all are), and believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for their sins on the cross and was raised for our justification, they need to receive and confess Jesus as they personal Saviour.

Don't need to change who they are, but confess that Jesus is the Lord.

The true origin of all the Greek, Roman Mythologies as well as the religions such as Hindu, Budda and such originated in the First Babylon Under the Leadership of Nimrod and his mother/wife Semirramis.

Takes a lot of research, but let me tell you. The study will OPEN YOUR EYES!

When Babylon was destroyed by God and all it's inhabitants scattered with different languages, the religion went with them. That is why you can go to Asia and find the same God's with different names. It's all part of the original pagan worship that began in Babylon. This religion affected the Roman Catholic church and that is why our Holidays such as Christmas and Easter are celebrated on the pagan holidays.

There is soooo much to it. Lots of research to get to the heart of it, but it is sooooo worth it.

Don't give up the fight just yet, Mezuzas! The election isn't over and we still have a chance to turn back the tide before Obama is elected! I know that a lot of Christians are bothered by John McCain, but he is a pretty decent candidate and is nowhere near as radical in his views as Barack Obama.

Our church is holding a prayer vigil for the upcoming election. We are not only praying for John McCain (that the Lord would strengthen him and call him to be a more dynamic conservative), we are also praying against Barack Obama. We are praying that God would not allow this wicked man to gain control of our country. However, we are also praying that God would open Obama's eyes and lead him to Jesus Christ for salvation.

When Hilary Clinton conceded the race, we had a youth rally and our youth pastor gave an imformative talk to our kids about the election, the issues, and where each candidate stands in relation to Christian values. At the end of the rally, our youth pastor asked: "What will our nation be in God's eyes if Barack Obama is elected?" Our youth immediately started chanting: "An Obamanation!" It was a great moment. I think they really got the message.

Every parent, grandparent and those hoping to be should read the "Viewpoints" section of the Sunday Cape Cod Times (Young Voices, June 8) and be very alarmed.

Many warnings of the increasingly militant and graphic indoctrination of our children into the world of homosexuals preceded the writings of three (of the five) young people who in that section show clearly the extent of that indoctrination. The youngsters were invited to write on a "current event or contemporary issue of their choice" and three chose gay-related topics. Not the election, the war in Iraq; the tornado in Myanmar; the price of gas — just same-sex issues.

Every one of their arguments was straight out of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transsexual Handbook, including resurrecting the tragic specter of Matthew Shepherd.

The questions arise: Have these teens also been instructed on the history and value of heterosexual marriage? Told that for multi-millennia marriage between one man and one woman has been the foundation of all societies, in order that said societies may grow, increase and flourish? Or the fact that couples choosing to practice perverse ways of sexual gratification does not negate obvious biology nor justify the destruction of traditional marriage?

So where is the evil in a holiday dedicated to love? First of all, if "Love" was truly the reason for this holiday, then that "Love" would have first been directed towards our Creator; for if we truly "Love" our creator, then we will be compelled by our "Love" to obey Him. Additionally, when we make a holiday of "LUST" more important in our hearts than our "LOVE" for Yahweh, we have set a precedent for our children to follow, and pretty soon the whole barrel of apples (mankind) is rotten!

i want to ask starter of this thread: can you give me the detail on how mathetical logic disproves evolution. i know one guy in a church whose good at math so i can explain it to him. i only know that einstein already proved existence of god with his Em=c2 equations (i saw it somwhere on the net).

The union of two members of the same sex is simply not marriage. To say that it is, leaves the union that marriage has always been without a word to identify it.

If we begin to assign the word “cat” to dogs, we are left without a word to describe that small feline that people have for pets.

Further, changing the name of a thing does not change the nature of what that thing is. A rose by any other name is still a rose. The relationship of two people of the same sex will always be that—regardless of what one calls it. It will never ever be the union of two persons whose individual sexualities complement and complete each other in every way. Only marriage is that. We are talking honesty here. To say that two different things are the same is simply not the truth!

Does it look like I give a damn about Egyptology? I don't. Can you tell me how you know wicca doesn't come from the devil? You may say,"but we use it for good." but wouldn't you be able to trick someone easier by making them think you were good? Is that not how advertisements work? Come to McDonald We have great tasting food, but it'll probably kill you or make your life harder if you eat allot of it, do they advertise like that? I know my religion doesn't come from evil because my God, Jesus, lived a perfect life by the law, and evil cannot be perfect by the law.

you can watch a rock or a creature for billions of years it will NEVER change into anything else! the evolution argument is falling apart. micro-evolution does not happen, macro - yes. If we eveolved? from apes, what happened to our missing chromozones and the stregnth that is inherent to primates? Darwin was pissed off with God over the death of his little girl and so concocted a theory that still there is no proof of. I have seen proof of God with my own eyes, show me proof of evolution
